Render-blocking requests
2.4 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 2.4 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, VWO and Optanon and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 447 KiB45 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (447 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 534 ms
534 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 534 ms of main-thread work and 545 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused JavaScript
529 KiBAbout 529 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
cloudfront.net adds 55 ms
55 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 55 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 244 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 73 KiB2 images could be 73 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Time to Interactive: 18.5 s
18.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.8 s
8.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s
1.7 sReal visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.0 s
4.0 sYour largest element takes 4.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (2.1 s).
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 460 ms
460 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 460 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 111 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 170 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 170 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (41), images 892 KiB (63) and fonts 203 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
48 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example getimage.ashx at 1,278 px wide, shown at 347 px. Resized copies would save about 48 KiB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (454 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (32 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
22 text elements with low contrast
22 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
26 images without alt text
26 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
186 internal links, 24 external
The homepage links to 186 pages on ambuusa.com and 24 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “Explore how our medical device products and solutions save lives and improve patient care. Makers of the Ambu® Bag, sin…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Single-use devices for inside andoutside hospitals”.
Title: 42 characters
Your title is a healthy 42 characters: “Ambu USA - The Single-Use Endoscopy Leader”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.ambuusa.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.ambuusa.com/Sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (803 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/endoscopy/pulmonology/clinical-evidence is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
10 pages without a meta description
/endoscopy/pulmonology/products, /airway-management-and-anaesthesia/video-laryngoscopes, /endoscopy/pulmonology/ascope-4-broncho-guys-study, /endoscopy/pulmonology/bronchoscope-availability, /endoscopy/pulmonology/infection-control and /endoscopy/pulmonology/health-economics and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /endoscopy-systems, whose canonical is /lp/endoscopy-systems. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page slow to respond
/endoscopy-systems took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 138 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343255862&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=130399cc-ce80-4a3a-b197-8ebacac60b04&bo=1&sid=514a07a0d1c411f1b457675bb6258a9c&vid=514a1c90d1c411f1878611bef7fbb057&vids=1&msclkid=N>m_.
11 small tap targets
11 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “fbq is not defined”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 390 words of copy
The homepage carries about 390 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.
12 calls to action

1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
31 cookies set on arrival
31Opening the homepage sets 31 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
33 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at ambuusa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
